Apprenticeships are a valuable resource for both job seekers and employers. As of June 2021, there are more than 4,000 apprentices participating in over 200 apprenticeship programs in Arizona. Get involved and receive the benefits of being an apprentice, or hosting a program.
Known as “the other four-year degree,” apprenticeships give participants the unique opportunity of learning a new trade while also receiving a salary and a nationally-recognized completion certificate to help them launch a new career.
Employers with Registered Apprenticeship programs have the opportunity to develop and retain a skilled and loyal labor force while also reducing turnover, creating a more diverse workforce.
